I agree with what I think is the spirit of what you say, but it's unhelpfully reductive. Many, many people who meet your criteria in fact are severely lacking in executive function. Neurological conditions aside, surely…
Actually, that's the most likely interpretation. To say otherwise seems disingenuous.

I don't see how those factors are relevant at all, regardless of the race of the criminal. The problem to address is the lack of transparency. Trying to guess what inputs are being factored in is pointless.
But if all of that is true, the model doesn't change the equation. The problems you outline need to be addressed upstream. Trying to account for and correct them at the point of sentencing is very problematic.
" ... other correlated factors will allow the algorithm to continue to enforce this racism" Which correlated factors are you thinking of?
That's the problem with trolling and hyberbole on any subject. People take it at face value and it becomes the popular narrative.
You are mostly speaking of the potential external impact of personal decisions. This is almost completely antithetical to politics. If I'm not proselytizing about Star Trek or even Christianity, there is nothing…
The most charitable response I can think of is that "popping out a kid" (or adopting) immediately shifts you out of the center of your own universe. It's a profound change of perspective for most people.
Sounds like you're talking about motorcycle helmets instead of bicycle helmets.
I will second the idea that avoiding processed foods has been a big part of your success. I started doing so just to keep my sodium intake down and lost a surprising amount of weight. And thank you for providing a nice…
Hard to pick the best nugget to use as I email this to friends, but I like this: "The Strokes recorded Is This It on an old Apple Mac in Gordon Raphael’s basement studio. But it was mastered by Greg Calbi, who also did…
Seeing as the post has pretty much disappeared from the site (not in the first 10 pages) only 1 hour later, I'm feeling pretty confident about my assessment of it's quality and contribution.
Exactly. I'm insulted when a conversation about immigration has a binary premise.
Can Hacker News not rise above the partisan politics that pollute every other site? Why am I seeing this trollish post here?
I think it's perfectly reasonable assumption that the majority of this apps users will be in the US and trying to lose weight. It's fine to want features that aren't there (yet) but it's obnoxious to presume that the…
Of all the common internet grammar mistakes, I think apostrophes on possessive pronouns are the most forgivable. Mostly because that's the mistake I make most consistently.
The majority of responses to this are the same criticism I've had with the source material (Sandberg's book). A few twists and turns aside, the idea that there is a separate set of rules (and values) for each gender can…
